With Cole, could it be that he never does the biz for England? Naw, it must be because he's black.

Oh yeah! It must be a race issue!

The fact that Sol Cambell, Paul Ince, and Emile Heskey are in the squad must be irrelevant.

Muffin your right he never does his "biz". But you gotta give some one a chance first. Ah well at least he was conviently injured minorly, i might add so Keegan can pull this bs and say he was cut cause of an injury.

Oh well believe what you wanna believe I know I do. All i said is what do all the cut players have in common.

A_shearer Sol Campbell is a defender known world wide. Who are they going to start with Adams???

Real Madrid offered a record fee for him this summer to replace Hierro. As did Manchester United.
Campbell must be in the squad.

With Heskey, well he's the future. I mean what are we suppose to watch old Teddy and Shearer up front.

And Ince made the smartest move. He said Kevin if I'm left out I'm retiring. No more WC qualifiers you can rely on Gerrard for that. Also I wouldn't be suprised if the Guv'nor was forced to sit for Dennis Wise. Although Ince has a much better international record.

It is definately not a race issue. I was just replying to the question set.

OK i change my answer, they all have very short hair!!!

I think they should have left Kieron Dyer and dropped Paul Ince. England have Wise, Scholes and gerrard in the midfield centre position.
Kieron can play in most places and could have been an advantage on the right full back position.

I hope England goes out in the first damn round. The powerful countries like Holland and France will teach KK a real lesson. Do you think for a minute Davids, Seedorf, Klivert, Bogarde etc would ever be left out.

But wait great news England - the man the English media proclaimed the Next Bobby Moore - Rio Ferdinand is booted out. And great news Phil Neville is in.

Also Kerion Dyer who is the next Ince is out while that wanna be Liverpool anchor relies on Hyippa way too much.

And taking a div 1 keeper over James a slap in the face.

I aint even going to touch Cole because by walking out of the training ground he knew what happened when he heard the cuts.

3 times in a damn row for this guy. Man i feel for him.

I hope Cole says he will never wear the England kit again. Then England becomes like Germany by kicking out all these young great stars Dyer, Ferdiand etc.

Remember Effenberg boy they could sure use him now.

Mate, I think it's pretty much a given that those players were left out for reasons worse than race............I won't say now, i'll wait for more comments. This guy is ridiculous, who the hell is this guy to pick all these Liverpool players and reward them for what. Fowler is (to quote Bates) a two-bob player on present form. His speed has dipped alarmingly, he can't play with his back to goal, he is weak in the air, etc., etc..
Forget it.....it's a waste of time. England are going to be humiliated in one of those games because they will not be able to score. Shearer is at the point of diminishing returns, Owen is a sprint away from making an icyhot advertisement. Heskey thinks he's a winger, which is strange because he can't cross the ball, but understandable, because he has probably the worst goalscoring ratio of any striker to play for England in the Euro. Barnes scored more goals per game than this guy.

For those who care, Trinidad and Tobago are going to BE THE SURPRISE TEAM OF THE WORLD CUP.

I hope the Liverpool players prove me wrong.

England have a habit of doing this to black players. quickly in and very quickly out, they have no patience with 'black' players. fowler over cole, give me a break. Ferdinand just for the experience alone should have gone and so should of Dyer, i'll give him james because he messed up in the cup final and he was out.

England is a multi racial society but the old guard hate to see black players coming out for england much like the french used to be. France learnt their lesson and won the world cup I hope England wake up one day.

Its a travesty and a disgrace.

For those who say it isn't race i will ask you one question. If germany's top league team's striker was left out of the national side their would be a riot. Can anybody spell Jancker?

Cole plays for Manchester United, not sunderland or 'the pressure got to us' Liverpool.

ferdinand is one of the most sought after players in europe, Liverpool were prepared to spend 10 million on him. guess where he's spending the summer, Southgate the penalty expert and Barry over him, lets meet the premier league manager that would take that deal, it would be Ferdinand everytime.

Dyer is one of the most versatile players ever to put ona n england shirt, he can't make it either.

So Gerrard no caps goes, Gary Neville who will probably not play unless England goes to 4-4-2 which is unlikely as is his brother phil chance of playing. Fowler who has spent almost the entire season injured goes.

heskey will not play and Ince may also enjoy the bench, that leaves Sol Campbell, look at the premier division and count the black players, only one deserves to play for england, crap. shame on england and shame on Keegan.

I'll agree that Dyer SHOULD be in the squad. But I'm probably just saying that 'cause I'm a huge Newcastle fan.

But the others (Ferdinand, Cole, & James) deserved to go.

If you were putting together a team, who would you pick as a keeper? A proven David Seaman, a great Nigel Martyn, a red-hot Richard Wright, or a so/so Aston Villa goalie?

Andy Cole is crap on the international level. I've NEVER seen a game where he has done exceptionally well for England. MAYBE its because he was never given the chance, or maybe not. But the Euro Championships are not a training ground for Mr. Cole.

I thought maybe that Keegan may ditch one of the Neville brothers in order to keep Ferdinand. He didn't apparently. I can personally learn to live with his decision.

Juninho do u really think that James, Dyer,Cole and Ferdinand are the same quality as Davids, Seedorf, Klivert, and Bogarde? Cuz they're not. If they were the same quality they of course would be in.

I dunno,

Dropping James - yes
Dropping Cole - (cough)

Dropping - Rio and Keiron - I think Kev was on drugs.

The Neville brothers get to go but those two don't.

Sglean, re: Gerrard, "So Gerrard no caps goes" - that's a Chicken & The Egg thing there.

I don't know about the whole racism thing though - I don't think Kev's like that, he bought Cole, Asprillia, gave Heskey his first England start, picked David James in the England squad - I dunno. I hope not.

In my opinion England should not have more than 1 or two black players at the most. Why you ask??? Well, because this is England, not Nigeria or Ghana. When I watch International football I want to see players who are actually english, french, dutch. Dont call me a racist because I am not. If a white player was playing for nigeria, I would say the same thing. I think France is a disgrace to International football. I mean half of them are not even french! Desailly,Thuram, Zidane, Djorkaeff, trezeguet, and many others arent even born in france. I mean Desailly is born in Ghana. Djorkaeff, however you spell his name...is from Armenia. It is obsurd. Thank god there are still great national teams like Italy, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Russia, Scotland,Yugoslavia etc. who actually play with players who are really from the country. I have far more respect for scotland than france, at least their players are actually scottish. Go ahead everyone, start calling me a racist, I know you will!
